Hey friend, I can tell that you were down
Seems like no one comes around
when you're feeling this way
The days, they can drag on and on
And the nights can get long
But I want you to know...

That's why the Lord made us friends
So wounded, brother, lean on my shoulder while I'm strong
There will come a time too, I will need to lean on you
That's why the Lord made us friends
Your load may be too hard to bear
I can show that I care by helping you through
Here's my hand, let me walk with you awhile
Til again you can smile, it's no bother at all

That's why the Lord made us friends
So wounded sister, lean on my shoulder while I'm strong
There will come a time too, I will need to lean on you
That's why the Lord made us friends
There will come a time too, I will need to lean on you
That's why the Lord made us friends

That's why the Lord made us friends
So wounded brother, lean on my shoulder while I'm strong
There will come a time too, I will need to lean on you
That's why, oh that's why the Lord made us friends
